MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Land Rover Discovery (S515 BBD) between August 2006 and July 2026.

The record contains 14 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 14 July 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (21 issues), Lighting (20 issues), Bodywork (10 issues), Steering (4 issues), Tyres (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 38 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Fuel cap/sealing device does not fasten securely maintaining the sealing arrangement (7.2.4b)”; “Central Rear Body or chassis has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of the body mountings”; “Central Front Body or chassis has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of the body mounting”.
